President's Message

Dear REACH Board, Interns, and Friends,

The start of 2025 has brought remarkable energy and momentum to our foundation's work. As we move through February, I'm delighted to share the meaningful progress we're making together. From our academic student internship program to the inspiring work from our educator grant recipients, your commitment to community improvement continues to create lasting change.

In times of uncertainty, our shared commitment to education in our community shines as a beacon of hope. Every day, I witness the extraordinary impact of our programs: high school students mentoring elementary children in robotics, physics/ chemistry or literary writing, young entrepreneurs sharing their first business ideas at the Mini Money Learning Labs, and teachers bringing innovative projects to life through our annual $20,000 REACH Educator Grants.

These moments remind us that positive change starts locally, through small acts that create ripples of transformation. Your continued support of the REACH Foundation isn't just an investment in programs – it's an investment in optimism, in possibility, and in the belief that together, we can build a brighter future for our families and our community. 

As we move forward in 2025, let's celebrate the power of community and education to light the way forward. For those celebrating the Lunar holidays, may your New Year bring peace, joy, and prosperity to you, your neighbors and our entire community.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your dedication makes our mission possible.

Warmest Regards, 

Gisele Nguyen,

President, 

REACH Foundation
